Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 1

Recommended Posts

So here we are back for the 8th season of Rays Funds. I’m

proud that we’ve managed to stand the test of time. Ray would be proud of us

all too. I was amending Ray’s signature earlier to add in the end of season

pledges and we have now raised a total of £2,694. £650 of that came from last

season alone and is the total we have raised for the CSF. I will be presenting

that this month. Ricky Martin has invited us to Colney for that presentation

but of course we have to tie in with representatives from the CSF too. I will

let you all know the details as soon as I have them.

 

 

I have been overwhelmed by the support I’ve had to keep these threads

going. Our anonymous benefactor has generously stepped forward again to sponsor

the Norwich match bet. And you PUPs have been superstars sending me donations

including many from PUPs new to the thread. I’d like to thank you all and I’m

proud to look after these threads for you for another season.

 

 

Welcome all PUPs old and new to week one of our new Rays Funds season. To

get us underway I’m pleased to say we have our current champion, the winner of

last season’s PUPs League, Trent Canary in charge and making the final

selections. Trent’s been with us from the very start and has always been up

with the front runners. I know some of you look for Trent’s selection and then

find five more to complete the six. That’s how highly we rate him. He’s a top

guy too who’s won with the final six on two previous occasions and always

supports me and our thread. But good as Trent is he will need all your help to

find six winning selections. So I hope you PUPs are back from the summer break

ready and refreshed to give him the options he needs to get us off to a winning

start. Don’t forget your selections must

be listed on Bet365 or Bill Hill and played Sat/Sun/Mon this weekend
.

 

 

Here’s the final six rota for the rest of August : -

Aug 9th  Trent Canary

Aug 16th CD Mullins

Aug 23rd Swindon Canary

Aug 30th Til1010

 

Thanks to our generous benefactor we have the Norwich match bet again

this season. We are hoping that these final selections will be made by PUPs who

won’t be picking the final six this season. I’m pleased to introduce

Yellowfuture to the thread who will be making this week’s match bet selection.

I know he’d be pleased to see as many suggestions as possible from you PUPs

Click on the fixture on the bet365 web site and there’s a whole range of

possibilities to bet on including result, correct scores, goal scorers,

halftime/fulltime, goal times and so on. This should be far more exciting this

season. Welcome Yellowfuture, you can choose up to six selections either from

the PUPs suggestions or of your own.

 

 

Here’s the match bet rota for the rest of August : -

 Aug 9th Yellowfuture

Aug 16th Crabbycanary

Aug 23rd Paul

Aug 30th Stewfil

 

Don’t forget that Kathy has managed to get us a BOGOF on this season’s

Canary Challenge. If you haven’t entered yet then get your enties to Kathy before

Saturday. Any winnings from the free entry will go to help fund PUPs for the

2015/16 season. Details here : http://freepdfhosting.com/86acf15cfa.pdf

 

 

The site I mainly use for selections and results is Soccerway : http://uk.soccerway.com/

 

If you have a favourite site let me know and I’ll include it in next

week’s OP.

 

And finally here''s a couple of links to show you some of the great work done by the CSF :  -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bBw3II7wq8&index=2&list=PL96y47NOZxPzaYVbdz-_ILbYkNr6GgYiN

 

 

That’s it from me for now although I’ve probably forgotten something! Ill hand the thread over to Trent Canary. Remember

theres no pressure because we are

all going to be doing our best to help you get x3 by your name in the Rays

Funds Hall of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money

for the Community Sports Foundation.

 

 

Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Tom ... the final six bet is

yours.......[:)]........

 

 

As always I leave you with

Ray’s signature which now reads :-

Hello Nutty, could you confirm whether or not you can accept games that are being played in the early hours of Saturday morning?

Actually, don''t worry, I''ve found something I like better.

I''ll pick ZENIT ST PETERSBURG to beat Torpedo Moscow at home at odds of 1/5.

For the Norwich bet, both teams to score in both halves is 18/1. You never know given we''ve looked rather shaky defensively.

A relegated Torquay will probably have similar aims but I''m going to go with my local team to edge it.Norwich BetRussell Martin to score anytime: The only real reason being other than Ruddy he seems to most likely to play and of those 2 I fancy him to score moreGood luck trent not that you need it given your impressive last season

Nice to see this thread return again for another year - the only reason I come on here anymore!

I''ll go for Nottingham Forrest vs Blackpool please - home win.

And here we go again. Wonderful to see this return for another season, great work Nutty.

Norway for me to start...

Molde v Stabaek - Home Win

Molde are top, 8pts clear around the halfway point of the season and have 8-1-0 25-7 at home. Stabaek are mid-table with 2-0-6 11-20 away.

For the match bet, HT/FT Draw/City looks decent at 13/2.

Best of luck Trent, Yellowfuture, and all you PUPs.

As for the Norwich bet how about Lafferty to score the first goal of the game at 13/2 ?

Thanks NN for the intro, and for keeping this great thread going.First week is always a tough one, however there are a lot of leagues throughout Europe that have already begun, so there is a bit of form to go off. Will aim for a mix of bankers from the European leagues and value from the British leagues, all picks will be looked at in detail so please try and throw as many as possible my way!Should have the picks out by Friday 6pm or so...

Belgium is a topical place to go this week. And from a Rays Funds point of view they''ve already played 2 games in their top league. Anderlecht won both theirs while Charleroi lost both theirs. Hoping they keep their respective 100% records my pick for this weekend is : -

 

Anderlecht       v       Sporting Charleroi       Home Win

 

For the match bet I think Norwich will start much more positively this season. In the friendly last week we got a 2 goal lead early but in the end were pegged back. It''s a long time since we won the first game of the season and Wolves have the momentum we had last time we were in the Champs. So I''m going for Half Timer/Full Time Norwich - Draw which is 14/1 with Bet365.

 

Good luck Trent and Yellowfuture and thanks for being brave enough to step up for the first week.

As others have said, great to have this thread back, and many thanks to Nutty Nigel for looking after it for another season.

I''m going to try for some unusual picks this season-but not as obscure as some-no German women''s Under 19 reserve matches! I''m going to pick Dnipro to beat Karpaty at home in the Ukranian league, only played 2 games so far but Dnipro were a lot better than their opponents last season.

Good luck to Trentcanary and all other PUPs.

Sincere thanks to nutty for making this happen for another season, and especially to any newcomers for joining up!To the Russian FNL, where teams have played five games.Anzhi to win at home against Dinamo St Petersburg.Anzhi, who are second, with a 3-1-1 and 6-2 record. No great winning margins, but the defeat was away to the top team.Bottom-placed Dinamo St Petersburg with a 0-2-3 and 2-5 record. No big defeats but no impressive results either. Current odds are 2/9.---For the Norwich bet, suddenly such a realistic a choice without feeling guilty for betting against the team! I like the look of half-time/full-time Wolves 0 Norwich City1/Wolves 1 Norwich City 2 at 25/1.Good luck to all.
